It came as a shocker when Shweta Basu Prasad announced separation from husband Rohit Mittal just a few days before their first wedding anniversary. The actor shared a statement on her Instagram page which read as "Hi everyone, Rohit Mittal and I have mutually decided to part our ways and end our marriage. After months of contemplation, we arrived at this decision a few months ago in each others’ best interest, as individuals. Not every book is supposed to be read cover to cover, that doesn’t mean the book is bad, or one can’t read, some things are just best left unfinished. Thank you Rohit for the irreplaceable memories and always inspiring me. Have a great life ahead, forever your cheerleader."

Now during an interaction with Spotboye when Shweta was asked about her divorce, she stated, "Yes, we have filed for a legal separation. Rohit and I are perfectly cordial and friendly. As I had mentioned in my post it was a mutual decision. He has always been very supportive of my acting career and I am his fan, he is a wonderful filmmaker and I hope we work together someday. We had five years of a very loving, healthy and loyal relationship, we just decided to end the marriage and remain, friends, that’s it."

On being quizzed about finding love again, Shweta went on to say, "Of course I am not closed to the idea of falling in love again but right now my only focus is my career and my work. Love happens organically great if it doesn’t happen then no problem. Not looking for it."
